About this map

Settled by German immigrants in the mid-19th century, the communities of New Ulm and Industry anchor this western Austin County landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the meandering West Mill Creek and Sandy Cr, which carved the undulating hills that drew early farmers to the region. This map provides a clear view of the area's ancestral footprint through its numerous family-named burial grounds.

Genealogists can trace the legacies of early Texas families at sites like the Samuel Allen Shelburne Cem and the Travis Davis Cem. In the northern portion of the sheet, the village of Nelsonville sits along Church Rd, surrounded by smaller family plots like the Heitman Family Cem and the Susen Cem. The layout of local routes, such as Fortran Blvd and Industry Rd, reflects the historic connections between these rural farming hubs.
